Select the “Density Alt / TAS / Winds” option
to calculate density altitude, true airspeed
and winds aloft.
Scheduler — displays reminder messages (such
as “Change oil”, “Switch fuel tanks”, “Overhaul”,
etc.). One-time, periodic, and event-based mes-
sages are allowed. One-time messages appear
once the timer expires and reappear each time the
500W-series unit is powered on, until the message
is deleted. Periodic messages automatically reset to
the original timer value, once the message is dis-
played. Event-based messages do not use a timer,
but rather a specific date and time.
Crossfill Operation — The Crossfill Function
allows the pilot to transfer a direct-to destination,
the active flight plan including VNAV param-
eters, any stored flight plan, a user waypoint, or
all user waypoints between two 500W-Series (or
400W-Series) Garmin units in a dual-unit instal-
lation. There is only one Crossfill function page.
It may be accessed pressing the MENU key and
selecting Crossfill while viewing the default Nav
page, Flight Plan Catalog, Active Flight Plan, User
Waypoint page, or the Aux mode Flight Planning
page and then pressing ENT.
Waypoint names longer than six characters, or dupli-
cates, sent from the GTN unit to the GNS unit will
replace some characters with a “+” sign, while leaving
significant characters to aid in identification (such as,
USR003 becomes US+003).
NOTE: The databases of the 400/500 series and the
400W/500W are incompatible, so you may not mix
systems.
NOTE: Manual GTN Crossfill requires the 400W/500W
series unit to have the same Jeppesen NavData®
database cycle number as the GTN unit.
NOTE: Crossfill and Manual GTN Crossfill can not be
configured to be present at the same time. The chosen
feature is configured by the installer for your installa-
tion.
Manual GTN Crossfill — The Manual GTN
Crossfill Function allows the GNS 400W/500W
series unit to manually send all User waypoints to
the connected GTN unit or receive information
from a GTN unit.
